Device Overview

The Circ MedTech team developed the patent pending PrePex device to achieve rapid scale-up of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) in resource limited settings, prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. PrePex is the first known device to facilitate non-surgical MC that can claim all of the following: No injected anesthesia. No surgery. No sutures and No sterile settings.

The guiding principle of the company is to offer safe, simple, scalable and cost effective male circumcision programs that can be implemented by minimally skilled healthcare workers.

PrePex was extensively reviewed by the WHO, with its safety and efficacy validated in a series of comprehensive, rigorous studies. For a list of WHO Prequalified VMMC devices Click here
